Q: Is Muller Elementary Magnet School a good school?

Summary:

Muller Elementary Magnet School is a public elementary school in Tampa, Florida, serving around 430 students in grades PK-5. As part of the Hillsborough School District, which is ranked 45 out of 68 districts in the state, Muller Elementary has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking over the years, ranging from a high of 562 out of 2,112 Florida elementary schools in 2016-2017 to a low of 1,343 out of 2,256 in the current 2023-2024 school year.

Muller Elementary stands out for its significantly more diverse student population compared to nearby schools, with a student body that is 35.81% African American, 44.88% Hispanic, and only 9.3% White. Additionally, the school has a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 72.33% to 83.74% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the nearby New Springs Schools and Legacy Preparatory Academy. Muller Elementary has also seen a steady increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 6.6% in 2019-2020 to 17.1% in the current 2022-2023 school year, which is higher than the nearby charter schools.

Despite these challenges, Muller Elementary's test scores, while below the state and district averages, are generally higher than the nearby traditional public schools, such as Forest Hills Elementary School and Shaw Elementary School. This suggests that there may be opportunities for improvement at Muller Elementary, potentially by leveraging the school's magnet status and addressing the underlying socioeconomic factors that impact student learning.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
